Optimization in land consolidation
Cay, Tayfun and Fatih Iscan
In the whole countries, land consolidation is applied to improve the rural areas. Land consolidation refers to the process in which fragmented or scattered lands of a farm family or farm are incorporated. Land reallocation is the most important activity in the process of land consolidation. In land consolidation, land planning and implementing is conducted by land reallocation step. For this purpose, firstly the land is divided into blocks by planning an optimal network for road and channel. Secondly the problem of how much land from which block is given to a farm is solved. Some countries where land consolidation is extensively applied investigated the application possibilities of operations research techniques. Klemper, Kropff, Riemer and Sonnenberg studied how to use different algorithms of the mathematical programming methods in reallocation of farm lands. In this study, a method which obtains optimum formation for the land reallocation in land consolidation; which can easily be programmed for computers is described. The manner of solution in this method, which can also be accepted as optimization in land consolidation, is based on principles of linear programming. An example illustrating the way the method works is also provided in the solution.
